Dental Practice Sales Made Simple

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Clay while navigating the complex process of buying my very first dental practice — and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. As a first-time buyer, I was overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. After speaking to numerous brokers and industry professionals, Clay stood out instantly. He was the only one who not only took the time to hop on a call with me the very same day, but also walked me through the entire journey with unmatched clarity and transparency.

Clay brings a wealth of experience, with a strong background in banking and a deep understanding of dental practice acquisitions. He’s extremely well-connected in Florida, and his insights into practice valuation, deal structure, and industry dynamics were absolutely invaluable. More than just a broker, he became a true team player and mentor — someone I could call at any time with questions, big or small.

His professionalism, promptness, and honesty set him apart. What’s more, he’s just a genuinely kind and trustworthy human being, and we’ve built a wonderful relationship in the short time we’ve worked together. Thanks to Clay’s guidance, I found and acquired my dream practice within a remarkably reasonable timeframe.

If you're a new dentist, a seasoned practitioner, or an investor looking for guidance in Florida’s dental industry — Clay is your guy. He is a rare find, a tremendous asset, and someone I look forward to working with again as I continue to grow.

Highly recommend!

Clay was a breath of fresh air in my search for a practice! I’ve dealt with other brokers who were much more opaque and difficult to deal with. Clay, however, has a unique background that gives him a much more comprehensive understanding of the practice numbers and makes him masterful at finding solutions that work for both parties. I finally closed on my dream practice solely because Clay made it happen. He was communicative and honest every step of the way and made an otherwise confusing process much smoother. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a broker.

Dental office purchase complete! I can’t say enough about the time and effort that Clay put into my transaction. Having served as a Regional Director of Practice Finance for a large bank that specializes in dental sales and purchases, he has an extensive network of expert contacts within the banking industry, attorneys, practice management consultants, and vendors to ensure that not only the transaction is completed, but that the transition from associate to owner is as smooth as possible.

Clay’s most valuable attributes are his communication skills, his candor, and his network. He understands my daily restrictions to communicate to each person on my team and the seller’s team due to being in the operatory with patients from 8am to 5pm. He provides the framework for your transaction, works with your designated team or helps you to build a team of experts which are critical in getting the transaction completed. He also helps to manage and communicate with each one throughout the process.

If there is a question or problem that needs to be tackled, he either has the ability to answer it or refers to his network to find an expert that can guide you to making the right choices when it comes to the transaction and transition.

In an industry where most people don’t take phone calls and only respond to emails or calendar invites, Clay is the most available person I’ve ever dealt with. Phone calls, text messaging, email, bat signal, he responds to them all. His communication skills are 11 out of 10.

Please don’t hesitate to consider this great man for your dental transition needs, as a buyer or seller. If you’re on the fence, ask him for my phone number and we can privately talk about my unique transaction and how Clay was the glue to it all.

I worked with Clay at Southeast Dental Transitions during the process of deciding how I wanted to transition my dental practice and ultimately through listing and selling it. Clay did an excellent job from start to finish—gathering the right information before listing, creating a strong presentation of the practice, and generating quick, qualified offers.

When the inevitable hiccups came along, Clay’s background in both banking and brokerage really showed. He handled each situation with professionalism and skill, ensuring that the process kept moving forward smoothly.

Now, it’s rewarding to visit my old practice, see it thriving, and know that the successful transition was made possible in large part because of Clay’s expertise and guidance.

I would highly recommend Southeast Dental Transitions—and Clay in particular—to anyone considering a sale or transition of their dental practice!

Clay is a real gem. We had a very complicated, challenging deal with multiple parties and attorneys and Clay handled it beautifully. Always professional and very knowledgeable, Clay was always available to counsel me along the way. I have recommended him to a number of my colleagues and they have been very grateful for the opportunity to work with Clay. You will not find anyone better.

Clay had great communication even on weekends and evenings. He solved every problem that arose with a calm attitude. He truly made it fair for the buyer and seller.
